Bringing together healthcare professionals from various vocations, Diabetes Professional Care is the UK's leading event for those involved in the prevention, treatment and management of diabetes and its related conditions. With major sponsors such as
AstraZeneca,
Dexcom, and
GlucoRx, the team had the opportunity to network with industry giants to share specialist knowledge and potentially improve patient care pathways.
Ulcers on the feet can occur when cuts and abrasions are left untreated, often because of limited sensation in the feet caused by diabetic symptoms. The NHS defines a diabetic foot ulcer as
'an open wound or sore on the skin that's slow to heal and is common in people with diabetic polyneuropathy.' Designed to accommodate sometimes large bandages or wound dressings; the
Streifeneder therapeutic shoe range,
supplied by Steeper, also protects injured feet from dirt, splashing water and the cold. All Streifeneder therapeutic shoes offer a variety of features and benefits that help improve healing, reduce infection and aid patient recovery.
Long-term Surgical Wound Care Shoes
The Neptun style is a lightweight option ideal for long-term use. The wide-opening design helps to accommodate large-volume dressings and bandages whilst encompassing the entire foot and ankle area with a softly padded socket. The antibacterial lining features an antibacterial agent based on an ammonium-silane compound for hygienic use and it is easily machine washable.
